(Credit: Colm Whelan)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>News of the discovery has spread well outside the science community to media outlets around the world. Shortly after the announcement, Crampton was contacted by the Guinness Book of World Records to confirm the record voltage. The previously reported maximum voltage was about 600 volts.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, <em>Electrophorus voltai <\/em>was officially recognized as both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guinnessworldrecords.com\/world-records\/70715-most-electric-fish\">\u201cmost electric fish\u201d<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guinnessworldrecords.com\/world-records\/590369-most-electric-animal\">\u201cmost electric animal\u201d<\/a> by the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Crampton\u2019s record-breaking eel was unexpected. It began while filming an episode of <em>National Geographic<\/em>\u2019s Monster Fish with host Zeb Hogan in 2014 when a photographer was shocked by a large eel that had emerged from a hole in the river bank. While shocks from electric eels are unpleasant, they\u2019re not deadly. However, this one left the photographer pale and shaky.<\/p>\n<p>The degree of the shock was a clue that the eels in this part of the Amazon jungle are different, and a test proved that suspicion. Crampton began the process of measuring the voltage by stretching out the fish on a non-conductive plastic tarp and placing electrodes on its tail and snout. These electrodes were connected to a voltage-measuring oscilloscope. Because electric eels are air-breathing fish, being out of the water for a few moments does not harm them.<\/p>\n<p>Crampton speculates the unusually high voltage of <em>Electrophorus voltai<\/em> may be related to the low electrolyte content of the rivers it inhabits, but he says that\u2019s for future research.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest takeaways, Crampton says, is the discovery of the two new species after more than 250 years of scientific discovery and research in the Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a testament to how important it is to preserve the Amazon\u2019s incredible biodiversity,\u201d Crampton says. \u201cWe\u2019re still in the pioneering phase of uncovering what\u2019s out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A UCF biologist is attracting global attention for recording the highest-ever voltage generated by an electric eel \u2014 or any living creature, for that matter.
